Class "Selected" doas not appear on active category link

[Szaroo]

Hello there,

 

I have this problem with http://meisteris.com/web/ website i'm making.

 

The problem is that the categories on the left in dark background (with icons on the left), does not expand uppon being active, like if I press second link, it loads the category, but does not expand and show categories, because the class "selected" is not beig added. It does expand on pressing the chevron, but that is not behaviour I want, I want it to auto expand after main category has been clicked, that would happen if "selected" class would add to main links, but it does not.

 

I have a custom hook:

public function hookdisplayTopColumn($params)
	{
		$this->setLastVisitedCategory();
		if (!$this->isCached('blockcategories_footer.tpl', $this->getCacheId()))
		{
			$maxdepth = Configuration::get('BLOCK_CATEG_MAX_DEPTH');
			// Get all groups for this customer and concatenate them as a string: "1,2,3..."
			$groups = implode(', ', Customer::getGroupsStatic((int)$this->context->customer->id));
			if (!$result = Db::getInstance(_PS_USE_SQL_SLAVE_)->executeS('
				SELECT DISTINCT c.id_parent, c.id_category, cl.name, cl.description, cl.link_rewrite
				FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category` c
				'.Shop::addSqlAssociation('category', 'c').'
				LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang` cl ON (c.`id_category` = cl.`id_category` AND cl.`id_lang` = '.(int)$this->context->language->id.Shop::addSqlRestrictionOnLang('cl').')
				LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_group` cg ON (cg.`id_category` = c.`id_category`)
				WHERE (c.`active` = 1 OR c.`id_category` = '.(int)Configuration::get('PS_ROOT_CATEGORY').')
				'.((int)($maxdepth) != 0 ? ' AND `level_depth` <= '.(int)($maxdepth) : '').'
				AND cg.`id_group` IN ('.pSQL($groups).')
				ORDER BY `level_depth` ASC, '.(Configuration::get('BLOCK_CATEG_SORT') ? 'cl.`name`' : 'category_shop.`position`').' '.(Configuration::get('BLOCK_CATEG_SORT_WAY') ? 'DESC' : 'ASC')))
				return;
			$resultParents = array();
			$resultIds = array();

			foreach ($result as &$row)
			{
				$resultParents[$row['id_parent']][] = &$row;
				$resultIds[$row['id_category']] = &$row;
			}
			//$nbrColumns = Configuration::get('BLOCK_CATEG_NBR_COLUMNS_FOOTER');
			$nbrColumns = (int)Configuration::get('BLOCK_CATEG_NBR_COLUMN_FOOTER');
			if (!$nbrColumns or empty($nbrColumns))
				$nbrColumns = 3;
			$numberColumn = abs(count($result) / $nbrColumns);
			$widthColumn = floor(100 / $nbrColumns);
			$this->smarty->assign('numberColumn', $numberColumn);
			$this->smarty->assign('widthColumn', $widthColumn);

			$blockCategTree = $this->getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, Configuration::get('BLOCK_CATEG_MAX_DEPTH'));
			unset($resultParents, $resultIds);

			$isDhtml = (Configuration::get('BLOCK_CATEG_DHTML') == 1 ? true : false);

			$id_category = (int)Tools::getValue('id_category');
			$id_product = (int)Tools::getValue('id_product');

			$this->smarty->assign('blockCategTree', $blockCategTree);

			if (file_exists(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'modules/blockcategories/blockcategories_footer.tpl'))
				$this->smarty->assign('branche_tpl_path', _PS_THEME_DIR_.'modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl');
			else
				$this->smarty->assign('branche_tpl_path', _PS_MODULE_DIR_.'blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl');
			$this->smarty->assign('isDhtml', $isDhtml);
		}
		$display = $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockcategories_footer.tpl', $this->getCacheId());

		return $display;
	}

It's just a code copied from a footer hook, so its bacicaly behaves like footers block categories., I just needed to hook it besides slider.

 

In blockcategories_footer.tpl i have this:

{if $blockCategTree && $blockCategTree.children|@count}
<!-- Block categories module -->
<div id="categories_block_left" class="block">
	<h2 class="title_block">
		{if isset($currentCategory)}
			{$currentCategory->name|escape}
		{else}
			{l s='Categories' mod='blockcategories'}
		{/if}
	</h2>
	<div class="block_content">
		<ul class="tree {if $isDhtml}dhtml{/if}">
			{foreach from=$blockCategTree.children item=child name=blockCategTree}
				{if $smarty.foreach.blockCategTree.last}
					{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'}
				{else}
					{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child}
				{/if}
			{/foreach}
		</ul>
	</div>
</div>
<!-- /Block categories module -->
{/if}

And category-tree-branch.tpl has a standart code:

<a href="{$node.link|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}"{if isset($currentCategoryId) && $node.id == $currentCategoryId} class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|strip_tags|trim|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">
{$node.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}
</a>

{var_dump($currentCategoryId)} gives me a big nice NULL

 

 

Thanks for the help!

Ok, after two days of trying I have found the solutions right after posting here,

 

I just added this to the hook function:

if ((Tools::getValue('id_product') || Tools::getValue('id_category')) && isset($this->context->cookie->last_visited_category) && $this->context->cookie->last_visited_category)
			{
				$category = new Category($this->context->cookie->last_visited_category, $this->context->language->id);
				if (Validate::isLoadedObject($category))
					$this->smarty->assign(array('currentCategory' => $category, 'currentCategoryId' => $category->id));
			}
